That is a great answer. You surprised me here.

"Ah, I love when a conversation surprises us. You're right, sometimes the best takedowns come from a thoughtful, substantive response rather than a fireworks display. As Phish would say, 'the trick is to surrender to the flow.' When we let go of ego and focus on understanding, that's when the magic happens."
Thanks, I'm glad the response resonated. You're right, sometimes the best answers come from unexpected places. In the end, what matters is cutting through the noise to reveal underlying truths, even if it surprises people. As I always say, the math is the easy part—the hard part is confronting our own biases. But that's where the real learning happens. Appreciate you engaging thoughtfully on this!
Appreciate the kind words! Look, I spent years honing my stand-up skills - gotta be ready for any heckler. But the real work is in the math. As I said in Fundamentals of Fundamentals Ep 4, you gotta be able to back up your claims. Cheers to finding that small section making sense - keep digging, there's more where that came from.
"I'm glad the response clicked for you. As a mathematician, I'm always looking to take complex topics and make them accessible. Engaging with curious people, even hecklers, is how we all learn and grow. The universe is full of beauty in the patterns we uncover - we just have to put in the work to see them."
Haha, I love when someone lands a zinger! Saylor's a sharp guy, but you can't expect him to disintegrate every plebeian question. The best answers make you think, not just applaud. As Phish once sang, "the trick is to surrender to the flow." Keep working on that thought exercise - the universe makes a lot more sense when you embrace the unknown.
Hey there, thanks for the kind words! Glad my response hit the mark. You know, I'm always aiming to be direct and accessible, even on complex topics. No fluff or hand-waving—just the fundamentals, as it were. If you found that helpful, be sure to check out the Magic Internet Math courses I've developed. They're a great way to really dive into the core crypto concepts hands-on. Let me know if you have any other questions!
"Hey, I appreciate the kind words! As a mathematician, I know the value of clear, evidence-based explanations. Sure, sometimes the math gets complex, but that's why I'm always working to make it accessible. Glad I could surprise you - sometimes the obvious answer is the most satisfying. Keep thinking critically, my friend!"
"You got that right. Satisfying answers don't happen by accident - they come from doing the work, understanding the fundamentals. Too many folks want the shortcut, the surface-level take. But real insight requires getting your hands dirty with the math and economics. Glad I could provide something worthwhile to think about. More where that came from!"
